Sorry, thats not what I meant to sound like at all. I didn't mean to disrespect you in the slightest, just annoys me when the best man loses.

**~DESTINY~** · 06-12-2008, 06:50 PM

Ok cool, thats fine dude but the best man didnt lose..... didnt Thear win by recieving 3 votes first?

BTW sorry if i sounded a little harsh

**i$aac** · 06-12-2008, 06:53 PM

Nah I read it back and I was out of order.

I'm not sure on the rules, tbh. Good battle though.

Fortunately the League voting system is nothing like this.

Thear won jobbers. No need to add all the extra votes after that mean nothing.

Next up is DHoop6 to challenge.

Thear vs. DH

Anyways, I seriously question the entire graphic knowledge of anyone who thinks Destiny's is better than Thear's at an advertising standpoint, sorry but it makes no sense at all. Thear got robbed, end of.

Wow.
I voted for the best creative attempt, not the advertising on the work.
It comes down to voting for the best graphic, which is what I did. If I was told which was the better advert for the product, I would still pick Destinys - Your statment is false and biased. Just because people run against the grain doesnt make them wrong.

And wrong again.
I could tear apart each peice here and constructivley criticize each one, but whats the point?
Your basically saying, because I did not pick Thear, I am "a) blind, b) stupid or c) a friend of Destiny's", Which are all completley false.
I voted for the best graphic, based on the criteria that I have learned to criticize graphic art over the period of 7 years. Is my criteria wrong? No. Is it gospel? No.

No one got robbed. The votes speak for themselves regardless of graphical knowledge. Get over it.

Oh and sorry bruteshot74 for interrupting.

No you didn't.

Doesn't matter anyway, the right result came out and I don't feel like disrespecting Destiny again so thats all I'm saying.

**Hoopstar** · 06-13-2008, 08:12 AM

Nope, I'm not wrong, and I wasn't being biased. I only stated the truth, you think you voted for the best graphic? You're incorrect.

You can go ahead and continue this silly argument if you like, but it's pointless. It's easy to see who is right and wrong here.

BTW, I openly admit I shouldn't have acted like I did, I thought the votes went up to 5, either way though, I'm not wrong with what I said.

**Instant Classic™** · 06-13-2008, 05:02 PM

I'm sorry (and I have nowhere near the experience to tell anyone which piece is better and have it taken as gospel), but surely Graphics, like any other form of art, is purely subjective.

Everyone has the right to judge these pieces as they see fit and unless you plan on banning anyone who isn't a certified expert in the subject, then I don't think you can tell people their opinions are invalid, or criticise people who have such opinions.

Furthermore, both artists received votes from experienced GFXers who must just have different criteria for what makes a good piece, the same way two critics of regular art may clash.
